New York is continuing its rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, and this week the list of those eligible broadened to include home care workers.
Kathy Febraio, president of the New York State Association of Health Care Providers, said it has been challenging at times for certain workers to schedule an appointment due to limited availability.
“Some days it seems like it is working at the speed of light and other days it’s just a work in progress,” Febraio explained.
However, next week the list of vaccination sites will be expanded, allowing home care workers more flexibility when it comes to scheduling.
